ŠOKICAIlija OkrugićŠokica, a folk play in five acts, is set in a village inhabited by Šokci (an ethnic group of South Slavs with a distinct culture in Croatia and Serbia) in Virovitica County and Osijek surroundings of 1848 and 1849. It is a story of the unhappy love life of young Janja amidst the conflicts with the Hungarians and the pro-Hungarians (mađaroni or hungarezi), which is why Šokica is, in addition to being a literary and theatrically interesting piece, also an interesting historical document about the Croatian plains.
